In the states, the first million is excluded from the tax.

That a portion of the multiples of that is subject to the heirs getting knicked a bit doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.

But, like 99% of all Americans, I doubt that it will impact my heirs at all.

The fact that a substantial portion of the folks in the US are so willing to go to bat for the folks who have made a game of avoiding taxes their entire life, and wound up wealthy as a result, is fascinating.

Especially since in most cases those most strident about not paying the tax are some of the loudest deficit hawks gives new meaning to the term "failure to connect the dots".

Or, taxes are for OTHER people.
